Casting Teen Actors for "Scapino" Show

Seeking performers ages 16 and up for the "Scapino" Show. Please see the details below. About the project: Set in Naples, Scapino! by Jim Dale and Frank Dunlop is a zany modern-day farce inspired by Moliere’s 1671 comedy Les Fourberies de Scapin. The play’s lead, Scapino, is the servant who is smarter than his master. A quick-thinker, fast talker, and trickster, he intervenes (despite his master’s plans) to bring two pairs of young lovers together. “The good Lord has blessed me with quite a genius for clever ideas and inspired inventions.” boasts Scapino. This full-length farce in the style of Commedia dell’arte is a fun-filled, outrageous ride, full of slapstick and fast-paced humor; including tall tales, bad impersonations, ridiculous chase scenes, disgruntled waiters, lovable panhandlers, melodic macaroni, and misbehaving sausages. Additional info: Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Please bring a recent photo (any size close-up picture or headshot) and be prepared to sing at least 2 stanzas of a ballad or folk song a cappella. As an opportunity to become further acquainted with the script, a public table reading will be held at the theater on Wednesday, Sept. 11, from 6:00-8:00pm. All are welcome to watch or participate, regardless of intent to audition. CALLBACKS: Monday, Sept. 16, 6:00-8:30 pm. PERFORMANCE DATES: December 6-15. If interested, please apply.
